1. New Innovation Approaches In Precision Farming The Example Of The Base Fertilization ProcessNowadays, innovations in Precision Farming are mostly bound to further developments and new solution approaches on the technical level. However, for efficient service provision it is important to work on strategies for application of these technologies. To satisfy customers’ demands for highly specialized methods and detailed results collaboration between various companies in service consortiums is often required. In doing so, every company can provide its proven and evidentially effective... J. Friedrich, M. Becker, M.F. Schneider, S. Klingner |
2. Effective Use of a Debris Cleaning Brush for Mechanical Wild Blueberry HarvestingWild blueberries are an important horticultural crop native to northeastern North America. Management of wild blueberry fields has improved over the past decade causing increased plant density and leaf foliage. The majority of wild blueberry fields are picked mechanically using tractor mounted harvesters with 16 rotating rakes that gently comb through the plants. The extra foliage has made it more difficult for the cleaning brush to remove unwanted debris (leaf, stems, weeds, etc.) from the picker... K. Esau, Q. Zaman, A. Farooque, A. Schumann |
3. Design of Ground Surface Sensing Using RADARGround sensing is the key task in harvesting head control system. Real time sensing of field topography under vegetation canopy is very challenging task in wild blueberry cropping system. This paper presents the design of an ultra-wide band RADAR sensing, scanning device to recognize the soil surface level under the canopy structure. Requirements for software and hardware were considered to determine the usability of the ultra-wide band RADAR system.An automated head elevation... M.M. Mohamed, Q. Zaman, T. Esau, A. Farooque |
4. Integration of High Resolution Multitemporal Satellite Imagery for Improving Agricultural Crop Classification: a Case StudyTimely and accurate agriculture information is vital for ensuring global food security. Satellite imagery has already been proved as a reliable tool for remote crop mapping. Planet satellite imagery provides high cadence, global satellite coverage with higher temporal and spatial resolution than the Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2. This study examined the potential of utilizing high-resolution multitemporal imagery along with and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to map the agricultural crops... U. Ali, T. Esau, A.

5. Suitability of ML Algorithms to Predict Wild Blueberry Harvesting LossesThe production of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium.) is contributing 112.2 million dollars to the Canada’s revenue which can be further increased through controlling harvest losses. A precise prediction of blueberry harvesting losses is necessary to mitigate such losses. In this study, the performance of three machine learning (ML) models was evaluated to predict the wild blueberry harvest losses on the ground. The data from four commercial fields in Atlantic Canada were... H. Khan, T. Esau, A. Farooque, F. Abbas |
6. Application of Advanced Soft Computing to Estimate Potato Tuber Yield: a Case Study from Atlantic CanadaThe potato crop plays a crucial role in the economy of Atlantic Canada, particularly in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, where it contributes significantly to potato production. To help farmers make informed decisions for sustainable and profitable farming, this study was conducted to examine the variations in potato tuber yield based on thirty soil properties collected over four growing seasons through experimental trials. The study employed an advanced and explainable ensemble model called... Q.U. Zaman, A. Farooque, M. Jamei, T.J. Esau |
